Hannah Watts Park is set to light up with festive cheer as Melton’s Carol by Candlelights returns on Saturday 13 December.
The much-loved, free family-friendly celebration will begin with a special screening of The Santa Clause movie, followed by performances from local schools and community groups.
Those planning to attend can look forward to a vibrant atmosphere filled with food trucks, market stalls, face painting, and a festive neon trail featuring large colourful light displays.
The little ones can also write their own letter to Santa through a craft workshop, with the Santa Claus himself taking part in the merry event.
Folks taking part are encouraged to bring along a picnic blanket and settle in for an evening of music and joy, with a dedicated accessible viewing area and a sensory friendly area being made available for all those to enjoy the festive fun.
Melton Mayor Lara Carli said the event is the perfect opportunity to bring the community together.
“Carols by Candlelight is a wonderful way to welcome the festive season, enjoy each other’s company, and embrace community spirit,” Cr Carli said.
“Carols are such an important part of Christmas, and this is one of my favourite events of the year. I can’t wait to see everyone come together for this wonderful community celebration.”
The event is set to kick off at 5pm on Saturday 13 December at Hannah Watts Park, 183-225 High Street, Melton, and will conclude at 9.30pm.
